r nou-ammstm e Be it known that I, ERN'nsrBBAnunR, a citizen of. theUnited States, residing at Newber in the county of Yamhill and. State-oOregom have inventedcertain new and useful Im' roveme'ntsf1'Non-Refillable 5 -Bottles', of-whlchthefollowing is a'specifi'accompanying drawing "This inventlon' relates-"to non-refillablebottles, and hasifor its object the; production of a bottle, which whenemptied cannot be I refilled.-

r H R t Another object of this inventionl is the production ofanon-refillable bottle, which 1s'sim 1e in construction and consists ofa com aratively small number of parts. 4 ith these and other objectsinview this invention consists of certainnovel construcg0 tlons,combinations, and arrangements of parts as will he hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a longitu-I dinal section of the bottle;and, Fig. 2 is a: section taken on line 2- -2 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1'

designates the body of thereceptacle, which is provided upon the bottomthereof with an upwardly extending collar 2, formed in the inside of therece tacle in which is positioned the lower en of the centralscrewmember 3. The receptacle 1 is also provided upon the upper end witha neck portion 4, which neck portion is provided with a.bulged, oroutwardlysextendlng portion 5.

The upper end of, the screw-member 3 is journaled in the neck portion 4,and upon the portion of the screw-member 3, which is positioned inthe-neckis formed a ratchet 6, and said ratchet 6, is positioned in saidbul ed portion. A spring pawl 7 is pivotal y secured in sai bulgedportion, as

I shown in Fig; 2, and upon one side of the hfilged portion 5 is formedan inwardlyextending 1n 8, which bears against the spring pawl andnormally holds the end of the spring pawl in engagement with pne of theratchet teeth of the ratchet 6.

' The portion of the screw-member 3, which is between the neck i and thecollar 2 upon the bottom er, the bottle, or receptacle, is threaded, andupon this threaded portionis adapted to travel'a'pl1'1nger-9L In thebottom of the bottleis formed an aperture'IO,

,gthe ;bottom of the bottle, orreceptacle, will eommunieate withtheaperture 11, formed month, or other suitable mean's, 1s adapted gtobe positioned in said aperture, and push the valve-member 12 out of theaperture 11 and allow the liquid to flow into the reap {tacle until thesame is filled. As soon'as'the be! 12 will' readi y close the aperture"and fireceptacle is filled and the nozzle. is/ es- Lf" moved from the aerture 11, the valveme'm'; f' a prevent the leakage of liquidtherethroug'hQ I 3 he valve-member 12 comprises a flat spring iportion13 and a rojecting portion 14 jwhich is adapted to t in the aperture 11o }the plunger 9. Upon the upper end of the screw-member 3 is formed aflattened por-f tio'n 15 so as to allow the same to be readily 'grotatedby gripping 1 the same with the I n upwardly-extending casing 16 isformed upon the upper e'ndofthe receptacle,

and this casing is provided with a discharge 7 spout 17. An aperture"-18 forms acom fi munication between the casing 16 and the"receptacle,*and allows the liquid to be dis-- Upon one side ownwardlyscharged from p the spout -17. of the aperture 18 is formed a extendinglip 19, and in the casing 16 is positioned a plunger 20, which plungeris pro vided upon one side with a beveled portion 21, whichbeveledportion 21 engages the lip portion 19, and tightly closes the aperture,-I

or opening 18, and normally prevents the flow of liquid therethrough. Aspring 22 is positioned in the to of the casin 16 and normally holds thep unger 20 in t e aperture l8.

- From the foregoing description, it will be readily seen that when thescrew-member 3 is rotated the plunger 9 will be drawn upward by means ofthe threads thereon, and the pressure of the liquid upon the plunger 20'will force the same into the casing 16, and allow the liquid to flow outthrough the discharge spout 17. By having a ratchet formed uponthescrew-member 3, and said ratchet being engaged by the spring pawl, itwill be obvious that the screw-member 3 therefore, as soon as theplunger 9 is drawn to the top of the bottle, as shown at 23, and all theliquid has been forced out of the bottle, the same cannot be refilled.It will, also be obvious that by having the aperture 18 provided on oneside with a downwardlyoxtending lip 19 and the plunger 20 being provided011 one side with a beveled portion 21 that when the plunger 20 isforced into the aperture 18, the opening will be tightly closed, andalso by having the downwardlyextending portion when the liquid is forcedagainst the plunger 20 the same will readily yield and allow the liquidto flow through the aperture and out of the discharge spout 17.

What-I claim is:

l. A device of the character described comprising a body portion,provided with a central screw and a plunger traveling thereon, said bodyprovided with a neck portion, aratchet carried by said central screw,said neck provided with a bulged portion, a pawl positioned in saidbulged ortion and adapted to engage said ratchet tor preventing therotation of said screw in one direction, said body provided with anoutlet opening, and means carried by said body and adapted to normallyclose said outlet opening.

A device of the character described comprising a receptacle, a threadedshaft positioned therein and a follower adapted to travel thereon, aratchet carried by said shaft, said receptacle provided with a neck andsaid neck provided with a bulged portion, a pawl positioned in saidbulged ortion, said pawl being formed of resilient material, a lugformed in said bulged por tion and engaging said resilient pawl fornormally holding the same in engagement with said ratchet for preventingtherotation ofsaid shaft in one direction.

3. A- receptacle of the class described comprising a body portion, athreaded shaft in said body portion and a plunger positioned thereon,said plunger provided with an aperture formed therein constituting an inlet opening and a spring pressed closure therein, a follower adaptedto-travel.there-' on, a ratchet carried by said shaft, a spring pawlcarriedby said body and adapted to engage said ratchet for holding theshaft against rotation in one direction, an integral extension formedupon said body and engaging said pawl for normally holding the same inengagement with the ratchet, said body provided with an outlet openinformed therein, and means cooperating wit said opening and adapted tonormally close the same.

6. A non-refillable bottle of the class described comprisin a body, saidbody provided with a nec c, a threaded shaft e itioned within said bodyand neck and aving one end jonrnaled in said neck, a ratchet formed uponsaid shaft near the upper end thereof, and positioned within said neck,means carried by said neck and adapted to engage said ratchet forpreventing the rotation of said threaded member in one direction, afollower positioned upon said threaded member, said body provided withan outlet opening, and means adapted to normally close said outletopening for preventingthe flow of liquid therethrough.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
